Meteorologist Martin Bowles, from the Met Office, said: “All this week there’s going to be showers down the eastern side of the country, even today and tomorrow we’re likely to get some snow on higher ground, places like the North Yorkshire moors.

“And because Thursday is that much colder, there’s potential for snow a bit further south, places in East Anglia, Lincolnshire and perhaps some snow reaching city levels, such as Newcastle and Durham.”

Coastal areas such as Skegness, Ingoldmells and Mablethorpe are expected to see most of the snow, if it does make its way to the county.

Thursday is tipped to be the coldest day of the week for large parts of the country, with the mercury expected to fall as low as a bone-chilling -10C in some parts.

Snow is likely to accumulate on higher ground and in parts of Scotland.

Wintry showers are also forecast down the eastern side of the country.

“A negative North Atlantic Oscillation is likely to persist, bringing a cold northerly flow into Europe.”

The teeth-chattering chill is set to remain until closer to the festive season when milder weather, complete with more unsettled conditions, pushes temperatures back towards normal for the time of year.
